The Engineer's Base Bid Estimate was $2,120,551.75 with no contingency added.
Burgess & Niple currently has no experience working with Tiseo Paving. We contacted a few of
the neighboring Cities that have worked with Tiseo from the past project information provided by
Tiseo. We contacted the City of Corinth, City of Frisco, City of Plano and the City of Carrollton.
All believe that Tiseo did good paving work but, Carrollton and Plano said that Tiseo needed to
manage their own subcontractor's better. The City of Coppell has also worked in the past with
Tiseo and had no complaints of the work completed.
We would recommend that the City of Coppell inform Tiseo about the concern of subcontractor
management during the preconstruction meeting and to have weekly construction meetings
throughout the project. Though subcontractor management is a concern, we do not feel this
should be a sole reason for rejecting the award of the construction contract to Tiseo. Therefore,
we believe that the City of Coppell should award the construction of Deforest Road to Tiseo
Paving.
